Only a Sinner

Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed;
Boasting excluded pride I abase;
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
Chorus:
Only a sinner saved by grace!
Only a sinner saved by grace!
This is my story, to God be the glory, -
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
2 Once I was foolish, and sin ruled my heart,
Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]
3 Tears unavailing, no merit had I;
Mercy had saved me, or else I must die;
Sin had alarmed me fearing God's face;
But now I'm a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]
4 Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows,
Loving his Savior to tell what he knows,
Once more to tell it would I embrace -
I'm only a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]

God's answer to a sinner complaining of grace delayed
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God His answer to a complaining sinner; God His answer to a complaining sinner First Line: Sinner, behold I've heard thy groan Lyrics: 1 Sinner, behold I've heard thy groan,
I know thy heart, thy life I've known;
I've seen thy hope from grace proclaim'd,
Thy trembling fear when Sinai flam'd.
2 To me, the mighty God, attend,
In me behold the sinner's friend;
'Twas I who gave thy conscience voice,
Thou hast oppos'd by sinful choice.
3 Think not to bribe my sov'reign grace,
Nor move me by a sorrowing face;
'Tis thine own heart makes grace delay,
And hides a pard'ning, glorious day.
4 Mov'd by thy fear, and not by love,
Thy daily pray'rs are sent above;
Thou hast not wish'd my will to meet,
Nor lain submissive at my feet.
5 The holy terms of gospel grace,
Have hid my glory from thy face;
To hearts and wills like thine oppos'd
The door of peace is ever clos'd.
6 Should thy proud will at length submit,
With holy sorrow deeply smit,
Thy voice would be the first to say,
I'm glorious in this long delay.
7 Stay, sinner, cease my grace to chide,
Nor think thy moans such sin can hide,
Delay no more, repent and live,
Or meet the death my wrath must give. Languages: English
